Comments in Java
Java supports single-line and multi-line comments very similar to C and C++. All
characters available inside any comment are ignored by Java compiler.

Using Blank Lines
A line containing only white space, possibly with a comment, is known as a
blank line, and Java totally ignores it.
Inheritance
In Java, classes can be derived from classes. Basically, if you need to create a
new class and here is already a class that has some of the code you require,
then it is possible to derive your new class from the already existing code.
This concept allows you to reuse the fields and methods of the existing class
without having to rewrite the code in a new class. In this scenario, the existing
class is called the superclass and the derived class is called the subclass.
Interfaces
In Java language, an interface can be defined as a contract between objects on
how to communicate with each other. Interfaces play a vital role when it comes
to the concept of inheritance.
An interface defines the methods, a deriving class (subclass) should use. But
the implementation of the methods is totally up to the subclass.
What is Next?
The next section explains about Objects and classes in Java programming. At
the end of the session, you will be able to get a clear picture as to what are
objects and what are classes in Java.
